When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1459

Emery burst out laughing on the other end of the call.

“Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?”

“No, no.” Emery held herself back and stopped laughing. “You’ve changed so much in six years. Whenever I criticized Ashton in the past for lacking self-control, you’d always speak up for him and help him find excuses.”

“What? Was Scarlett that blind?” I blurted out. When I realized the mistake I had made, I quickly corrected myself, “Was I that dumb?”

Emery sighed. “I wouldn’t say that. Things were just way too complicated in the past. But I can be sure of one thing. Ashton was an ordinary man with emotions and desires only when he was with you.”

I laughed upon hearing that. “Is that so rare?”

No matter how privileged or outstanding Ashton was, he would still be at the mercy of his emotions when he was with something he liked. Why did Emery make it sound like Scarlett was blessed to have him express his emotions to her?

All I could think was how submissive this “Scarlett” must have been when she was with Ashton.

“You’ll know if it’s rare or not once you’ve recovered your memories. But don’t be fooled by one’s appearance, especially with someone like Ashton, who doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve. It’s going to take a lot of time and effort to see him for who he really is. But you know what? It’s been so many years, and yet, I still can’t see through this sugar daddy.”

“Why do you call him a sugar daddy?” I had only skimmed the documents in the study, so I wasn’t entirely sure of the relationship between Emery and Ashton.

“He invested in my office and The Jade. What else is he, if not my sugar daddy?” she joked with a chuckle.

I was so taken aback by her declaration that I didn’t know what else to say.

Just then, one of Emery’s staff reminded her of an urgent meeting, so she had to cut our conversation short.

She quickly arranged to meet me that afternoon and was about to hang up when she added, “Why are you asking these questions anyway? Has Ashton been hounding you again?”

Emery was so spot on with her deductions that it made me wonder if she should be a psychic instead.
